	PBS - THE WEST - John M. Chivington
		The hero of Glorietta Pass and the butcher of Sand Creek, John M. Chivington stands out as one of the most controversial figures in the history of the American West.
		Glorietta Pass in eastern New Mexico, where his troops rapelled down the canyon walls in a surprise attack on the enemy's supply train.
		But the six, who included Captain Silas Soule, a personal friend of Chivington's who had fought with him at Glorietta Pass, were in fact militia members who had refused to participate in the massacre and now spoke openly of the carnage they had witnessed.

	1st Colorado Cavalry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was formed both to protect Colorado against incursions from the Confederate forces and to fight the Native Americans who already inhabited the area.
		Command of this unit was given Colonel John Chivington, who had apparently legitimately distinguished himself at the Battle of Glorietta Pass in the New Mexico Territory early in 1862, against Confederate forces.
		The 1st Colorado Cavalry would go on under Chivington to perpetrate one of the most shameful slaughters of American Indians in history, the Sand Creek Massacre.

	[DL] Glorietta Pass
		I just finished reading a book called "The Battle of Glorietta Pass" by Thomas S. Edrington and John Taylor, an account of the western-most battle of the American Civil War.
		Historical summaries describe the wagon train that the Confederates lost as being all the supplies for Sibley's troops, yet only 600 of the former 2600 Texans were at Glorietta Pass to fight.
		To call Glorietta Pass the "Gettysburg of the West" is a bit of an overstatement - certainly it was the high watermark for Confederate interests in the west.

	Milam County, Texas
		The unit marched onward and on Friday, 28 March 1862, the Confederates defeated the Union forces in the Battle of Glorietta Pass.
		Company E was commanded by Captain Charles Buckholts, who was killed at the Battle of Glorietta Pass on Friday, 28 March 1862 and the town of Buckholts in Milam County, Texas was named in his honor.
		If F.M. lived after the Battle of Glorietta Pass and died prior to Wednesday, 30 April 1862, it is possible he participated in Battle of Peralta on Tuesday, 15 April 1862.

	La Glorieta Pass
		The earlier one is called The Battle of Glorieta Pass, written by Thomas S. Edrington and John Taylor, printed by the New Mexico University Press, 1998.
		True to the title, the book is a straight description of the event, right to the point, but the book lacked explanation on the deep background of the causes, and the consequences after the battle.
		Glorieta Pass, a historical novel written by P.G. Nagle, put the historical figures in the background while she developed her fictional characters and unfurled them in the story.

	The Battle of Glorietta Pass
		The Battle of Glorieta Pass was dubbed the "Gettysburg of the West" by historians, it was the decisive blow by Union forces to stop the Confederate invasion of the West along the base of the Rocky Mountains.
		Sometimes called Apache Canyon, the pass is several miles long, about a 1/4 mile wide at the middle, and tapers to narrow defiles at both ends.
		The artillery fire sent the Federals into confusion until Chivington divided his troops, sending 3 companies to find cover in the rocks and deploying 2 companies in the cottonwood and pines along the mountain slopes on each side of the canyon; this placed the Confederates in a crossfire.

	Ebenezer "Abe" Hanna
		Under the command of Col. John Slough of Colorado the combined New Mexico and Colorado troops left Fort Union and met the Confederates in battle at a point on the Sante Fe Trail called Glorietta Pass where on March 28, 1862 thirty-six Confederate troops died, among them was young Abe Hanna.
		He was fell by a bullet to the spine, he lingered through the night but fortunately was in relatively little pain due to the nature of the injury.
		While technically the Confederate troops won the battle of Glorietta Pass it was a hollow victory as it was soon discovered that a group of Union troops had attacked the rear of the Confederate position and had destroyed their entire supply train, making it impossible for them to proceed with the campaign.

	Alternate History Discussion Board - Confederate Victory at Glorietta Pass
		This battle, known as the "Gettysburg of the West," was the turning point in the far western theater and put down Confederate ambitions of an "Arizona territory" (OTL New Mexico).
		I don't know how many soldiers the Confederates had in the army beaten @ Glorietta, but it might be enough to do damage without needing much in reinforcements.
		This brigade was commanded by General James Henry Carleton, and, by the time of the battle of Glorietta Pass, was massed at Fort Yuma on the Colorado River in preparation for an invasion of the Confederate Territory of Arizona.

		Since camping in the vicinity of the Glorietta battlefield in the early 1970s, I have been an aficionado of the quixotically improbable Sibley expedition, and have several edited memoirs of participants in my library.
		In completing his study, Alberts used a large number of primary sources, as well as on the ground research and archeological techniques to establish Union and Confederate positions during the course of the battle.

	[No title]
		Glorietta Pass was a near thing if it hadn't been for Chivington's attack on the Confederate supply train, the Confederates would have been able to head north or west at their descretion, not bad for troops commanded by a raging alcoholic...
		Okay so Sibley was drunk in his wagon and the Confedrates were really commanded by Tom Green but he didn't lose his head in New Mexico, he lost it in Louisiana...
		Sure would like to visit La Glorietta Pass someday, if there's anything left of it by the time I get there.
